How can there be a dark side of the moon; one side we always see and another we never do?
I’m told it’s because the moon doesn’t rotate. How can that be; how can it circle around us and never rotate relative to us? In a way, I think it’s rotating exactly once for each orbit around the earth. One moon day equals one moon year. That’s way too precise to be a coincidence.
I’m led to believe that the moon doesn’t rotate relative to us, because it’s just a piece of us. It’s a chunk that broke off and tried to get away but only made it that far before it got caught in orbit. Okay, maybe that works.
But if it’s a chunk that broke off, and it’s not rotating, how did it get round? Why doesn’t it still just look like an odd sized chunk of us? If it’s not spinning and getting pummeled by space debris from all sides for millions of years, what made it round?
Meanwhile, we got a full rainbow tonight.
I didn’t have a wide enough lens on hand to get the whole thing at once, but it was a glorious full rainbow.
